It is a Full English version of the game, and it is as binary-close to the lost original version as possible (probably the same).

It was made using a combination of original English Demo version and original Full Czech version.

Unfortunately, all download links are dead and the original English version is not accessible.

Troubleshooting
================

Problem:  My joystick doesn't work.  What should I do?
Answer:  Tennis Critters requires DirectX 8.0 or greater for the joystick to work.  You can download the latest DirectX runtime at http://www.microsoft.com/directx

Also, make sure the joystick settings are bound correctly for each player in the game's Options/Controls menu.

Problem: I get garbled graphics and polygons.  What's wrong?
Answer:  Make sure you download the latest drivers for your video card.  Some older drivers will display strange artifacts on the screen.  Updating your drivers will usually fix this.

Problem: My video card doesn't seem to work with this game or isn't detected.
Answer: The game requires 3d hardware acceleration and uses OpenGL.  If for some reason OpenGL doesn't work on your computer, try the -directx command line option (For example, 'tenniscritters.exe -directx').  This will turn on the directx compatibility mode which will be much slower than the standard OpenGL mode.  If you want to go back to OpenGL, run the game with the -opengl command line option.

Problem: The game crashes immediately after loading.  Why?
Answer:  It could be a problem with the sound initialization.  Try running the game with the -nosound command-line option.  (For example, 'tenniscritters.exe -nosound')

Problem: My sound stutters occasionally or doesn't play properly.
Answer:  This is a known issue with some integrated onboard sound hardware and OpenAL.

Problem: Help!  I accidentally selected an unsupported video resolution in the graphics config menu and my screen went blank!  What should I do?
Answer:  Try pressing Alt-Enter to put the game into windows mode and try changing it to a lower resolution.  If that still doesn't work, you can try resorting back to your default video settings by deleting the "pref.cs" files in your Tennis Critters installation directories (usually located in "TennisCritters/tennis/client/pref.cs").

Problem: How do I improve performance?
Answer:  Try changing the bit-depth to 16, and lowering the shadow detail.  Those two settings have the most impact on performance.  If for some reason your video card has low memory, you can try reducing the 'world texture' and 'model texture' settings to 'low'.

To display your frames per second (fps), press F5 when in the game.
